These amazing flags are the work of Iranian American artist Sara Rabar. Made of antique textiles with layer upon layer of stitches they are beautiful and, perhaps, controversial.
All I know is that I really wish my art budget was a bit higher this year. I'd love to have/hold/caress one of these.
Read an article about Rabar in Guernica.
See more pictures of her flags at Boooooom!
